AUDIO-TECHNICA AT150MLX AT-150MLX PHONO CARTRIDGE
"Everything points to the AT150MLX as the best moving magnet design."
- David A. Rich, The Sensible Sound, Issue 112, May/June 2007
When you want to hear
the best from Audio-Technica
The Audio-Technica AT150MLX reproduces subtle details faithfully, clearly, exquisitely! It is superbly accurate and musical. It lifts listening to a new level of articulation and enjoyment.
This is really the characteristic that distinguishes the Audio-Technica AT150MLX AT-150MLX phono cartridges.
Six technologies are harnessed to produce this extraordinary and highly accurate phono
cartridge.
• Vector-Aligned™ phono cartridge — Patented by Audio-Technica, vector-aligned phono cartridges feature
two magnetic generators arranged in the shape of a "V". These two
magnets are positioned precisely to match the positions of the right and left
channels in the stereo record groove. Major benefits of the Vector-Aligned cartridge
include outstanding channel separation, very low distortion and superb tracking
performance.
• Boron Cantilever — Its tiny, gold plated boron cantilever provides an extremely rigid yet lightweight
platform to which the stylus is mounted. The gold plating also acts to dampen
the nano resonance that the boron may produce.
• MicroLine™ Stylus — The stylus used in the Audio-Technica AT150MLX is the latest and most advanced design.
More closely resembling the cutter stylus than any previous design, this shape
produces better high frequency response with less wear or distortion than with
earlier configurations.
• PCOCC Wire — A technologically
advanced pure copper material is used in Audio-Technica's exclusive Paratoroidal
Signal Generator. Together with the laminated core structure, which minimizes
loss in the high frequency region, this integrated paratoriodal signal generator
achieves an efficiency greater than conventional cartridges. The use of PCOCC
wire (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) perfects the performance of the
advanced paratoroidal coil design. A special high-temperature extrusion die
produces copper with virtually no transverse crystal barriers to impede signal
transmission or color sound. Even the output terminals are constructed of PCOCC
copper. The coils of the Audio-Technica AT150MLX thus transmit distortion-free sound up to
its output posts. The most subtle details are reproduced with clarity and purity.
• Mu-metal shielding — A mu-metal shielding plate between the left and right channels in the generator
system assure that the high level of channel separation achieved is preserved
at the cartridge output.
• Anti-resonance ceramic mounting base — To further increase the accuracy of the AT150MLX's moving system, Audio-Technica
engineers have ensured against unwanted parasitic vibration with an anti-resonance
ceramic mounting base.
The meticulous care and attention to detail lavished upon the Audio-Technica AT150MLX has resulted in significant
improvement in performance and sound quality. This superb cartridge offers the
discerning audiophile and the serious music listener added musical enjoyment!
